Report: Patriots sent employees into locker rooms to steal play sheets

While much of the information in the new ESPN report detailing the Patriots’ Spygate-era portrays the team has engaged in something akin to espionage, there are also charges that they were into more common forms of larceny as well.

Among the charges outlined in the Outside the Lines report include one so brazen and blatant that it seems hard to believe.

Several former Patriots coaches and employees alleged that the team would send “low-level” employees into opposing locker rooms during pre-game warm-ups to “steal play sheets” from teams which scripted their offenses.

The report also says the team would send employees to “rummage through the visiting team hotel for playbooks or scouting reports.”

Such tactics were apparently suspected by other teams, who would leave dummy play sheets sitting around in hopes of throwing the Patriots off their trails.

They have not won anything clean since Belicheat and shady Brady came into the league. Brady's 4 SB titles just don't add up to Montana or Bradshaw.

WHO CARES... They proved they rather have cheaters in the NFL then actual athletes but what do you expect, the govt has been wanting to take over the NFL ever since this shut to turn america upside down started... Faggot Brady just opened the door for some judge to come in and to what they want to a private organization that the judge has no business interfering with...

Now, IF there was racism, or some crime that was being committed by the NFL when making Brady sit out 4 regular games, then I can see a judge stepping in... But since there was no crime for a judge to be involve in, I think The NFL should give Brady 2 options, 1)Sit out not 4 games but now make it 6 for trying to have a judge rule over his discipline, or ban him from the NFL for life...

What is even more funny was the statement the judge used to justify his ruling not that it means anything more than pile of poop... The judge said reinstate Brady for the integrity of the game, yet you made the integrity of the game go down by allowing a cheater to not be disciplined...

IF anyone had any balls left and since you stood up to NOT changing the name of the REDSKINS, then stand the fuck up for this and say f' you judge you have no jurisdiction here and still send Brady home packing...

Do what ever it takes to win. A grand old American tradition no longer followed since the wusses took over the USA.

Not hardly likely according to Rush on today's show.He named the ESPN staff responsible for this story & stated that a whole lot of things would have to happen before said employees could gain access to those playbooks.
